Thought I would do a seperate thread for some concerns I made in the Russia thread where I wrote that the graph for the Wertpapiere looks like the Coyote ran off a cliff and I speculated that they would be in minus by the end of the week.
LOL…!
How naive.
Thank you TRUMP you orange piece of flabby human garbage, my few Wertpapiere are now Wertlospapiere

Why are you using the German word for it or you are meaning some specific instruments?

Options? It’s always risky to play around with options. Hope it’s not too much.
Just like a cake in the oven, its best not to keep peeking at the value of your portfolio. If you can afford to, hold onto your stocks and ride the storm.

Sorry, ist just a bout of acute Gerglish when the English word doesn’t automatically fallen in.
I wonder how many of middleclass Americans have the same problem just now.

I was watching a LBC talk on YouTube with the conclusion that it could get worse before it gets better, or the US loses the trade wars and hits recession.
Then all the small investors will be screwed out of their money while the rich get even richer.

Intriguing title of the thread, considering the same happens every couple of years with these stocks, why would savings be wiped out…not that i understand in it anything:D, curves on internet look might higher than a few years ago
Sorry but the US markets are still crashing down and while the orange keeps promising more tariffs there is no way back up in the near future

Is this just a venting thread or are we discussing actual investments and how people position themselves? I tried to have a discussion in the Fundsmith (?) thread a while ago but there was not much response.
And @slammer, didn’t you say this morning you were still in positive territory?
The rich will hold the most stocks & will lose the most, however they got rich by ignoring daily hype & market swings holding investments for the Long term. The S&P500 has compounded at 10.9% for 100 years, which means that stocks have doubled every 6.6 years, despite wars, the Great Depression, COVID etc.

Yes I did, but that was this morning.
And I am venting, but please feel free to jump on and lament with me.

Try not to look at your portfolio. I am trying not to do the same because I realized yesterday that I am getting anxious about it because of the amount I have lost, and I am not an anxious person. But this is driving me crazy.
Currently looking at European alternatives…ideas?
I have one fondfrom UK that I invest, but I need something else too…
you haven’t lost it yet. Not until you sell on that low.
Or of course if the company you got shares of goes bankrupt but as this is a drop for political reasons, not for mismanagement, what you need now is “einen langen Atem” (lots of staying power).

You are right! But it is hard…
I think the US equity markets will fall another 20% in the next 12 months. European and Asian markets, at least the reasonably priced parts of them, will fare better. But I would be prepared for some downside there as well.
That would put values at 1 January 2024, so hardly a big deal
Hm. I think there is a case for trying to avoid that 20% loss and park in cash and/or reallocate to some more reasonably prices assets. But maybe that’s just me.
What the hell did you invest in?
